Vessel certification guidance
Class & Statutory Certification
Review how each flag separates administration documents, class certification and statutory work delegated to recognized organizations.
How to use the flag directory
Country-specific guidance, without duplicate pages.
Classification societies and recognized organizations act only within their current authorization. The flag administration retains the public authority and oversight described by the applicable framework.
Choose the flag
Open one consolidated country page rather than separate registration, class and seafarer pages.
Review official scope
Read what the official sources verify, the typical process, supporting documents and stated limits.
Request coordination
Use the site-wide quote route when assistance is appropriate. No duplicate application form is embedded on the service page.
Seventeen unified guides
Open the Flag Services hub.
Browse every available flag in one place, including a clear information-only status page where a service cannot be offered.
